New Storm Worm Spam Delivers War Rumor

Filed in archive Spam News by Sue Walsh on July 10, 2008

The Storm Worm's latest campaign wants you to believe the U.S has invaded Iran. Its newest spam messages spread malware using the following text:

"Just now us armylinks's Delta Force and U.S. Air Force have invaded Iran. Approximately 20000 soldiers crossed the border into Iran and broke down the Iran's Army resistance. The video made by US soldier was received today morning. Click on the video to see first minutes of the beginning of the World War III. God save us."

The video is actually a link to a malicious site that downloads a trojan onto the visitor's computer, turning it into a zombie. Check out more info here.
